Investigators began investigating Travis Edwards in January 2012 after learning a 15-year-old girl in his neighborhood was two months pregnant, according to an arrest report written by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

The teen girl gave birth in August of last year, and several months later, her father called investigators because he was suspicious that the baby's father was a man from the neighborhood who has HIV.

A few days later, a deputy came to the family's house to take a DNA sample from the baby, and wrote in his report that the teen mom wouldn't disclose the name of the baby's father.

The deputy then went to Edwards' home to ask him a few questions. The man denied he was the baby's father; he also said he never had sex with the girl. "I don't see her in a sexual way," Edwards reportedly told the deputy.

And when he was asked to submit a DNA sample of his own, Edwards asked the deputy, "I'm free to leave, right?"

Eventually, investigators found a match between Edwards' DNA and that of the teen girl's baby, allowing them to charge him with multiple counts and hold him without bond.

Meanwhile, the mother and her baby are being tested for HIV.
